"I want to remind us all how we felt that day, when 50 years of constitutional precedent was overturned -- the anger, the worry, and the disbelief. The unbelievable fact that for the first time in our history, the Supreme Court didn't just fail to preserve a constitutional freedom; they actually took away a right that was so fundamental to Americans," Biden continued.

The results of that decision are already being felt, he noted. "In just 4 months, abortion bans have gone into effect in 16 states; 26.5 million women of reproductive age already live in states subject to these bans," he said. "Today in America, women who have been turned away from emergency rooms while having miscarriages -- losing wanted pregnancies, told they need to wait until they're sicker before they get the care they need. And there are survivors of rape and incest who've been denied access to health services in their home states and been forced to travel to states that do provide that care."

Furthermore, "patients are being denied prescriptions that they've been taking for years for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, because pharmacists are concerned that those drugs could also be used to terminate a pregnancy, so they're not giving them the prescriptions," Biden added.

In addition to the abortion-related consequences, "I've warned about how this decision risks the broader right to privacy for everyone" because it calls into question the Ninth Amendment, which deals with the right to privacy, he said. The right to privacy "has served as a basis for many more rights that are to come, and that we've taken for granted and are ingrained in the fabric of this country" -- for example, the right to use contraception or marry a same-sex partner.

Alongside the action in various states, "congressional Republicans are doubling down on their extreme positions," the president noted, pointing out that both House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) want to pass federal laws banning abortion nationwide. "If such a bill were to pass in the next several years," Biden said, his voice then dropping to a whisper, "I'll veto it." He raised his voice to a normal level and added, "But we can't let it pass in the first instance."

Biden listed several actions his administration has taken to protect reproductive rights in the wake of Dobbs, including protecting "a woman's right to travel from a state that prohibits abortion to a state that allows it and to protect the privacy of sensitive health information, preserving preventing states from tracking women who are seeking help, because that's what some will do."

However, "the only sure way to stop these extremist laws that are putting women's health and rights in jeopardy is for Congress to pass a law," Biden said. "The court got Roe right nearly 50 years ago and I believe Congress should codify Roe once and for all ... If you care about the right to choose, then you've got to vote. That's why the midterm elections are so critical."

My position is the same as the author,


One of the most extraordinary parts of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe, he added, "was when the majority wrote, 'Women are not without electoral or political power.' Let me tell you something. The court and the extreme Republicans who have spent decades trying to overturn Roe are about to find out -- they ain't seen nothing yet."

I’m going to have to make a thread about what is “extreme” one of these days when I have time to compile a list. I’m pretty sure that fighting for the rights of unborn living human beings would never have been “extreme” fifty years ago. Extreme is indoctrinating CHILDREN into believing that having their sexual organs removed and altered can make them feel “normal”. So many more that seem to be aimed at children who are the easiest group of Americans to brainwash.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Have you read about all the children who's lives have been destroyed by parents, doctors, and teachers who thought they knew how to fix confused children? Don't you ever wonder why the numbers of confused children seems to be growing exponentially as this trend becomes more normalized? There's a word for that but I can't think of it right now.

Yes, very good, that’s part of it. That’s where the brainwashing begins, but it’s the acceptance and promotion by the insane sector of the collective that has been working hard to normalize the mutilation and chemical alteration of children.

Hopefully the weak Republicans will collectively grow a pair and use this issue in campaign ads instead of worrying about how the leftist media will respond. There’s only a small handful so far so I don’t have much confidence in that happening.

Only 4% of Americans plan to vote based soley on abortion rights. Just because you care about the right to kill babies in the last trimester, doesn't mean America does.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

Where did you read that statistic? I know many many people, especially women, who will be voting based upon the Roe overturn.
